[ULS] Update for Rocky version agnostic specs

[bmastbergen]

The 6.18 spec has been updated to work with Rocky 9 or 10 and therefore does not have a hardcoded el_version anymore. Since the spec can be used to build for 9 or 10 it doesn't make sense to encode elX in the changelog at all. So if a spec defines el_version we can still add it (ie. ciq-6.12.y today), but if el_version isn't defined, just leave elX out of the changelog completely.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the spec-update tooling to support Rocky version-agnostic kernel specs by omitting the .elX suffix in changelog entries when the spec does not define el_version.

Changes:

• Update update_lt_spec.py to build changelog dist as empty when el_version is not defined.
• Change read_spec_el_version() to return None (instead of raising) when el_version is not present in the spec.

File	Description
update_lt_spec.py	Builds changelog entries without .elX when el_version is absent.
kt/ktlib/ciq_helpers.py	Makes read_spec_el_version() optional by returning None when not found.

Maybe valid and fair but i'm not going to block on it.

[bmastbergen]

Updated the docstring

[PlaidCat]

Its never had test coverage before but @bmastbergen maybe have claude gen up some coverage for possible use cases to?

[bmastbergen]

some basic tests added

[PlaidCat]

Seem fine but the lack of test coverage on ciq_helpers.py is maybe a bit alarming, it might be good to add in some tests for this for the future.
